Since it doesn't have the genetic package 'built in' to it for resistance to various herbicides, insect and fungus resistance it is subject to all those problems. Also it helps to check the maturity dates for it and any adjoining 'field' corn as cross pollination results in some chewy kernels mixed in with the delectable ones if the dates are synchronized.
-which is why I can't grow sweet corn, myself. There's no moment in time that some adjoining block of field corn isn't coming to maturity. No matter what I plant or when, I get chewy, starchy corn. I gave up and learned to love the bomb. I plant corn anyway and then ferment it for the pig just so I can stare at the rows. I've found that it makes decent creamed corn, for cornbread, too.
